alykhalil1

Hi everyone
 hope everyone is ok. I have read hundreds of pages of Googling and I just am unable to find out what is this RF Bridge and how does it work.

I know it connects to Wi-Fi, I know it connects to some other gadgets but what connection goes where. does it have a power cable. I'm not really able to understand I mean like safe I had three cameras so how would RF Bridge help me or say if I had one router three lights One TV and One camera, so how would this RF bridge  help me because I can do this with my Alexa anyway so does anyone need RF Bridge why would anyone need RF Bridge.

I thank you everyone for reading and  hopefully someone will reply.
kind regards & be safe.

What RF bridge are you referring to, and why do you think you might need one?

If I search for RF Bridge then the first page of results are all about the SONOFF 433. 🤷‍♀️

Is this like the IKEA Gateway puck that allows you to shout at your lightbulbs using Alexa?

Shouting at lightbulbs can easily be done - with or without Alexa. It's getting them to reply that I find difficult.

RF bridge is used to link home automation devices running on the 433Mhz RF to your WiFi and therefore to your home network and a server on either your network or the internet.  

This is so you can control your 433Mhz home automation device with something connected to your home network or the internet. 

What 433Mhz smart devices do you have already?

I shout at my Philips Hue bulbs all the time using Google Assistant, it always works well for turning them off, changing the brightness or the light colour, it works slightly less well for turning them off.

Mine too, but they keep asking for a bonio as a reward ...

"door alarm" ... can you be more specific? Do you mean a Ring (or similar) doorbell?
